PICTURE  SELECTION  DIALOG

 

 

You use this dialog to select the pictures that you want to display. You can also use it to determine which games are clones or are clones of another game, which games MAME identifies as working, which games are new, or which games have changed between MAME releases. In addition, you can preview your pictures, test your ROMs, or run a selected game.

 

There is also a Run Selection dialog that looks very similar that is used to choose which games you want to run.

SUPPLEMENTAL  CONFIGURATION  DIALOGS

 

 

The dialog on the left is used to choose your game picture directories.

The dialog on the right specifies how randomly placed pictures are displayed.

MAME-ONLY  CONFIGURATION  DIALOG

 

 

If you are not interested in having the screensaver display pictures but simply run games then you can configure it in a "MAME-only" mode. In this mode, only options specific to running MAME games are shown.
